kaana as Richard.

An almost packed house greeted Mr..
Keene at the opera house last night, to
see his portrayal Of Shakespeare's bit OF
English history In King Richard Ill.
Mr.. Keene assumed the title role, Of
course. This is bis masterpiece and
certainly he has got 1t down fine, limp,
scowl, defOrmity and all. He was far
superior as Richard to his own Iago of
the previous night and elioited the very
best Of a. plsuse that an actor can receive,
an audience SO quietly attentive when
his lines were being spoken that one
could almost have heard q pin fall upon
the carpet floor. In act End, when he
80 strangely wooes the newly widowed
wife Of his murdered victim, King
Henry his conception OF the words"Was
ever woman 10 such humor wooed?
Was ever woman In such humOr wOn?"
was grand, and conceded by all critics
10 be the correct one. Indeed, through
out this act he makes 1t his best, though
Miss Boyle, as Lady Anne, 10 far too
cold and lacks the fire OF her part when
Richard bids her kill him and boasts of
the murder OF her husband and son.
Mr.. Joseph Wheelock's Richmond"
OF course, was well portrayed, but this
gentleman was less before the audience
than upon the previous nlght, ana they
were somewhat disappointed by his ab-
sence. He is faVorite in San Antonio.
MIR. Eugene Moore took the Duke of
Buckingham well, putting enough IN it
to make it very interesting to
his hearers Miss Constance Hamblin
as Elizabeth, carried of the honOrs from
her sisters on the stage by her excellent
reading and portrayal Of the part. In
the tower scene, the farewell TO her
children, she gave the finest conception
OF a mothers agonized love that has
ever been seen on San Antonio boards.
The remainder ofthe company acquitted
themselves well. though especial men,

depicted very naturally the saucy little

An Ex-Police Officer In Jail Upor
This Serious Charge.

An Ex-Pollce Officer In Jail Upon
This Serious Charge.
John McCsbe is q young man 80 years
Of age, who came from Kansas City In
the spring and has since got into consid-
cradle trouble. His good or evil star
made him q police officer and he was
assigned to duty on Government hill
and 1t is said that he paid more atten-
ton to the saloons and girls, than he did
to his duty. Too much attention to sa-
looms naturally led to his drunkenness
and that caused his dismissal from the
police force. Yesterday he was again
arrested for drunkenness, and a few
hours afterwards Deputy Constable
Stevens arrested him on the Be-
rious charge Of attempting to
rape q pretty German servant
girl named Anna Hauser, Is years old,
lame, and OF good repute. Anna is en-
ployed by Mr.. Oscar Pollonet, who re-
sides on Government hill within Nc
Cabe's beat. In her affidavit before JUS
tice MoAllister she swore that while
alone in the house, on Monday, McCabe
came there and assaulted her. She
screamed and Mrs, Montgomery, who
lives near there, came to her assistance,
when the policeman released her and
fed. He had assaulted her before he
was discharged from the police force,
but she was then terrified into silence.
Justice MoAllister held the accused in
$500 bond to answer the charge before
the grand jury and, In default Of bail, he
WAS sent to jail.

THE ANSWER.
The City Attorney Shows Cause
Why the Injunction Should
not be Granted.

In the district court yesterday, City AttOr-
ney Bergst ON filed the following answer TO
the Stumberg injunction suit against the
Now come the defendants in the above
styled and numbered cause, and except to the
original petition filed herein, because;
l. Plaintiff fails to state facts sufficient TO
entitle him to bring or maintain the suit as
therein set out.
2. Then he fails to state facts sufficient TO
show that the defendant, the city of San An
tonic, has not the right to erect the public
buildings on the Military plaza as herein set
forth
of the Military plaza for any special purpose.
Wherefore defendants pray the Judgment OF
this honorable court of the suiciency OF said
petition, and that they go hgnce with their
cost
OSCAR BERGSTROM,
Attorney for Defendants.
Should the foregoing demurrer be Overruled,
then come the defendants, and deny all and
singular the allegations in plaintiff petition
contained, except such as are hereinafter
specially admitted.
And for further answer defendants admit
that the city OF San Antonio is city contain
ing more than ten thousand Inhabitants, and
as such is incorporated under and by virtue
of special charter, and that the Military
plaza is one of the squares in the city or san
Antonio, and that the city OF San Antonio is
about to erect city hall upon said plaza, 10 De
used as a council chamber, and as othces Tor
all city officers and for the trans
action of all the business of the
city; but denies that the said plaza or
square Is public highway, and denies that
said plaza has been dedicated or reserved for
any special purpose, or that it has been dedi-
Gated as a market place for the sale or ex-
change of provisions; but charges that the
fee in said plaza is in the city of San Antonio,
and that said plaza was specially dedicated for
the erection of oil public city buildings and
subject to disposition by the city council of
San Antonio for all public purpose. as in their
judgment will best serve the public.
Wherefore defendants pray that plaintif
take nothing by his suit and that the injunc-
ton heretofore issued be dissolved, and that
they recover all costs herein accrued and eX-
pended and for general relief.
OSCAR BERGSTROM,
Attorney for Defendants.
The general opinion is that Judge Noonan
will grant the injunction. In any case as the
suit is only brought to try the city's title to
use the plaza, the case will be appealed and
carried to the supreme court with the least
possible delay.
